Lyrics

The friends I've lost

I can clearly see

The man I've ended not forgotten to me

I remember their faces

As I set them free

Faces stay with me.

The world I've left

I left in the dark

I fight for you now

They will know who we are.

When I walk to the crown

Will I save in the sea

I picture your face

It's all I can see

Faces stay with me

When I close my hand is

Faces stay with me

When I stare at the sky

And when I erase I came up and see

Faces stay with me.

The f. I fear

If it comes for me

If there is no way

Of escaping

I will welcome their faces

As the last thing I see

Faces stay with me

Faces stay with me.

Faces stay with me, ohh

Yeah, faces stay with me.
